2 members of my team, hollie and radar are dogs, hollie is a border collie and radar is a HUGE alsatian, radar is perfect for security patrols around the outsides of the bunker and for "on the door" and hollie being a working dog can do a hell of a lot, dogs aren't as fussy with they're food and I think a system of scrap feeding will keep them goin just about, and I am currently teachin hollie silent commands in case we have to hide or keep quiet, but I find it un settling when she makes a noise while were tryin to keep quiet, my "best friend" could get me killed on my first ever scavenging trip :/ what's peoples thaughts on they're dogs and how usefull or useless do you think dogs will be? I know given a good dog and good lamp I can get rabbits, WITHOUT the need for a gun, this may make dogs worth they're weight when ammo starts to run low
a mans best friend????

I love my Harley he will go with me every where when shtf he's super smart and know all his commands I would just lose him if some one pointed a laser at the ground he's loves to chase lights it's hard to keep him of that one.
I'm having trouble uploading pics/changing my profile pic, I think its my phone, hollie is only 5 months old but she's comin along a goodun oh and btw harley looks a legend mate and I'd hate to have him set on me just as much as I'd hate radar to go for me lol
The pit bull, for me the best dog ever.
Dude they are so smart, my dog is just in tune with what ever is going on. Our dogs look alike.
Nice Proof, got the pic figured out. good looking dogs
cheers man radar is 5 years, and hollie is 5 months and currently in training, my mates have all got whipets for rabbiting
Damn colt you have one good looking dog I bet he's the best
Dude that's a big dog I bet he's fun to play with.
Colt if I must say you have great taste in dogs. Even down to there color.
whipets are fast, cool dog too.
Depending on ones definition of scrap feeding, my first instinct is if there are enough scraps to feed 2 dogs, someone isnt utilizing enough of thier resources. (just a personal opinion) I wouldnt feed anything to my dogs i wouldnt eat.
As far as the usefullness of a dog, I would say they would be worth the feed that is lost, if you have resourse to renew the food readily. If you dont have a good supply of food, well then your dogs are worth more than ever arent they LOL. as food. but i see no reason for this ever to be needed.
One could always muzzle them when/ if he had to. once you learn thier very body language, you will know when someone, or something is around. not much can escape thier ears if it is moving. or thier nose if down wind.
A few good deadfalls, snares, and other things could keep you in just as many rabbits, other meat. without having to chase it down, and draw attention.
The thoughts of running low on ammo just made me sick at my stomach, I had to do one of those shiver things. Please dont talk like that again lol.
In my opinion, some things dont need justification, lol. My dogs are simply my companions, If they were in misery, I would do to them what I would want someone to do to me if I couldnt myself. Beyond that, I have every skill to comforatably provide substanance for all of us, dogs included. With some practice you would feel the same way, therefore the thought of "needing them" to find food is mute.
Dogs are worth thier weight in gold, simply for what they give you if they do nothing at all, lol.
turn around and look in them eyes..............................................
Nice looking dogs, all of them. They are all smart breeds and very loyal.
This is Chopper. He's going on 11 years old. I took him away from a neighbor who wasn't taking care of him. Had him ever since. I can read him really well, and he reads me. I can tell someone is coming just by watching him. He doesn't always bark either.

I know that is an insult to dogs the world over, except chihuahuas, poodles, and afghan hounds.

I have a 2 year old pound puppy I've had him since 6 months and was hiking a local mountain every weekend with him. He is everything I could ask for. I have him on a training collar because he's hound crossed with beagle, so scents are his thing but i have him trained on whistle commands that to someone not familiar with the woods the commands would just sound like a bird calling.

OH MY TOO F----ING FUNNY
Nice rescue, mine is a rescue also I really think they know and there is some kind of connection there.
We are ******
I was going to say don't insult dogs that way LOL
Colt: I have a problem when it comes to strays. They always come to me. I once found a puppy under my rear tire of my van. I was about the pull out when my wife screamed. Dog was full of fleas. I gave it a flea dip and the guy who owned it came looking for it with Mom dog. The owner didn't speak english. I got the puppy cleaned up with the mom dog watching my every move. When it came time I gave the puppy back to the guy and the mom dog would not go with him. It stayed on my front deck. Personall I would have taken the whole litter with the momma dog. I think the dog senced that. I've had as many as 7 dogs in my house. Never once did I have a problem.
They knew that you would give them a good home. Someone to take care of them.
First, Colt thats a badass red nose. All red nose have basicly the same markings, my second favorite breed next to blue nose pitts. Blue nose are grey with crystal blue eyes, i freaken love'em!
Me, i have an American pit (white n brindle) and dalmation mixed named Ruby.
Best damn dog ive ever had!
